Like an experienced, nurturing auntie

Reviewed

Our eldest son Felix was with Vicky since he was 9 months old until he was 3 years old. Vicky definitely provides a home away from home, Felix always ran in every morning without a goodbye and always came out with a smile on his face. She’s very much like extended family to us now.

Vicky nourishes the children’s own personal interests and development, with Felix she really nurtured his early interest in numbers and letters, and now is able to do basic maths and read simple words/phonics. And I know with other children, nutures their own and different interests.

Important for us was that the children get out and about, and no matter what the weather, rain or shine she takes them out and about to parks, woods, the zoo etc. And always well equipped, and has overalls, wellies, buggies the lot.

Felix was always fed healthy balanced meals for breakfast lunch and dinner, and she always has a plentiful stock of fruit. Vicky encourages different flavours and Felix is a great eater as a result!

At times we have needed some flexibility and Vicky has been very accommodating, and occasionally babysat into the evenings for us too!

We think of Vicky like an auntie, she’s been fantastic with Felix proving a welcoming, loving, stimulating and social home for him during the weekdays. So much so we have now sent our youngest son to her!

We highly recommend Vicky.

She’s also great for tips on all sorts!
